[25:27] In this episode, Greg and Ryan enjoy a return visit from 2020-2021 Toastmasters International President Richard E. Peck, where he shares his experience undertaking a virtual tour, visiting Toastmasters clubs all around the world. The tour began back in October, and since then President Peck has traveled in his armchair to clubs in over 140 countries around the world.

Richard shares stories from his visits and enlightens us about what he learned along the way. We also hear how on this tour he was "Just Richard," downplaying his title as President and experiencing each meeting as a regular member. Richard took on meeting roles at each visit, and delivered a speech at over 75% of the visits.

Richard E. Peck will also be featured in the August 2021 issue of the Toastmaster Magazine in A President's Path Around the World.
